I'm an electrical engineer (and now personal trainer) with big dreams of owning my own warehouse/athletic performance gym in Minneapolis, MN. I believe that anyone with any genetics can be transformed into an athlete. I love to make you laugh, but I hate hearing excuses. Work your ass off, get the results, have fun afterwards.

I’m gonna make this quick as I am typing on my phone.
Basically, I’m headed to get my body composition tested tonight. I will give away one free small, medium, large, and extra large t-shirt to the people with the closest guesses of my measured bodyfat percentage.
I woke up around 3am this morning, slipping in and out of sleep paralysis, and for some reason, I could NOT get this post out of my head. Not real sure what it was. At first I was just thinking about food and meal timing. Then it turned into lifts and exercises. Lastly, I started thinking about daily activities, like doing karate in your basement with a Samurai sword, that are also highly psychologically anabolic (read: make you feel badass).
So, without further ado, here’s my list…
Not gonna lie, kids. I’m not really in the mood for this. Well, I’m not really in the mood for anything but sitting here and watching “Rome”. But, I’m hoping as I get writing it will help cheer me up a little. So, shall we get started?
I’m not one to f*ck with nature. Nature naturally runs off cycles. There’s high’s and then there’s lows. You need examples? Weather, the stock market, the climate, your bank account…everything! Whether you want to accept it or not, everything runs in cycles. The best you can do is love life when you’re “high” and ride it out when you’re “low”.
So what does that bit of philosophy have to do with drinking? Idk (I don’t know). I just wanted to sound smart in my drunken stupor as I write this…
Aye-yo!!!
I will be home (again) over the 4th of July weekend and would love to help the wonderful people of the Ladysmith/Holcombe/Cornell area (and beyond). My thoughts are 3 days of training opportunities. This is what I’d like to do…

Reader beware: If you have, or are a relative to, a special needs/mentally disabled child/family member or in general are offended by the word “retard” please stop reading now. I understand it’s a sensitive word, and I would never wish any of those conditions on anyone’s loved ones. That being said, I’m not going to not use it. When have I EVER been politically correct?? You’ve been warned…
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that I say a lot of “ridiculous” sh*t, especially when it comes to nutrition. Things like, “if my fatloss stalls for a week, I increase my calories, not decrease them.” Or, “I ate a family size package of brats over the weekend and lost a pound.” When it comes to training, people don’t understand why I would EVER do 13 sets of 8 reps on just 1 lift. Why is it that I do the “crazy” sh*t I do?
Is it possible to correct your running form without a coach? Without knowing anything about running mechanics? YES!!! This is not going to be a heel-strike vs. forefoot strike argument because there have been waaaay too numerous successful heel-strike runners out there. However, every sprinter out there and a lot of the recent marathon winners have been forefoot strikers, and I personally happen to think it is superior. Since we’re all about athletic performance around this bizzy, we’re gonna talk aboot forefoot striking. I received this question from a reader and thought I’d share it with the rest of you.
